WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser-
vice or maintenance can cause property damage,
personal injury or loss of life. Installation and ser-
vice must be performed by a qualified installer or
service agency.
IMPORTANT
This unit must be matched with an indoor coil as
specified in Lennox' Engineering Handbook.
Coils previously charged with R−22 must be flu-
shed.

XC15 Outdoor Unit

XC15 outdoor units use R−410A refrigerant. This unit must
be installed with a matching indoor coil and line set as out-
lined in the Lennox Engineering Handbook. XC15 outdoor
units are designed for use in expansion valve (TXV) sys-
tems only. Refer to the Lennox Engineering Handbook for
expansion valve kits which must be ordered separately.
CAUTION
Physical contact with metal edges and corners
while applying excessive force or rapid motion can
result in personal injury. Be aware of, and use
caution when working near these areas during
installation or while servicing this equipment.

Shipping and Packing List

1 − Assembled XC15 outdoor unit
1 − Bushing (for low voltage wiring)
2 − Grommets (for liquid and vapor lines)
